[629] Therein, what are the six kinds of equanimity based on the household life (gehasitā upekkhā)? On seeing a form with the eye, equanimity (upekkhā) arises in a foolish, deluded ordinary person (puthujjana) — in one who has not conquered his limitations (anodhijina), who has not conquered the results of deeds (avipākajina), who does not see the danger — an unlearned ordinary person. Equanimity such as this does not transcend the form; therefore that equanimity is called 'based on the household life.'
On hearing a sound with the ear …
On smelling an odour with the nose …
On tasting a flavour with the tongue …
On touching a tangible with the body …
On cognizing a mind-object (dhamma) with the mind, equanimity arises in a foolish, deluded ordinary person — in one who has not conquered his limitations, who has not conquered the results of deeds, who does not see the danger — an unlearned ordinary person. Equanimity such as this does not transcend the mind-object; therefore that equanimity is called 'based on the household life.'
These are the six kinds of equanimity based on the household life.
